ABOUT THE REDDING COMMUNITY HIKING CLUB
The Redding Community Hiking Club, a collaboration between Redding Land Trust and Mark Twain Library offers guided hikes in our town’s gorgeous open space. Most hikes are led by trustees from the Redding Land Trust, Town Trail Tenders, (volunteers who maintain both the Town of Redding and Redding Land Trust preserved properties), along with other community members. Typical hikes focus simply on getting outside to enjoy the benefits of nature, outdoor fitness and opportunities to connect with others in our community, and other hikes have a specific educational component, such as plant identification, geology, history, birding, etc.
